Post When il y.ung man sits In the
parlor talking nonsens. to his best girl, that's
capital. But when he has to stay in evenings
after they are married, that's labor" Is that
true? We have never 'ound it to be so. We
! take nc tnnph nloaSurt in sitting U,th nnr
best girl o. nights nov as W. did when we
used to tell her how mIch we loved her, un-
der the shade of the big elm at the TabO
bridge on the Georgetown road, as we were
riding by some twenty ears ago or so. 1t is
a pity when a mans 1--we for his best girl
proves so soon 10 be a ls,or and q trial.
TIL commissioner q the general land
Office, Washington. D. G.. in his report for
1856. shows that there ire now &c, SOL land
warrants of 100 acres eadl which have been
issued to the soldiers # the Mexican and
Indian wars which thes. soldiers have re-
ceived, bat have never located their war;
rants. Many of these hive been laid away
with the rubbish and overlooked as useless,
but much the greater par of them have been
lost. | would say to thes soldiers and their
heirs that l can in each cse obtain for them
il Reissue of such lost warrants. AS these
warrants and the land which they represent
have now become valuable it would be well
for them to write to me. o call at my Office,
at Lexington, Mo. 7. S. chandler. note

The Odessa Democrat gracefully aud truth
fully comes TO the defense OfLexinglou from
an unjust. fanaticai attack finn the johnson
county Star IN these words %.tLexington Is
for whisky, first last and Il the time. IL
seems 10 lis that parents vii be very slow
hereafter TO send their childen to the Lex
lngt0n schools now that il is known that
about three out OF four in tina city favor open
saloons. The moral in%fiuenc,of such a town
Is no recommendation to it II an educational
CENTER Upon this the Democrat
as tOil0ws:-"The above coles with a bad
grace from a town thai gets subsidy from
the state Of Missouri OF sOmeten or twelve
thousand doiiars every year 10 enable it to
mainIs::! i school, ID part of Wich LAFAYETTE
county Is taxed 10 maintain. Lexington has
for many years had three god female col.
legs and one male school of tgh grade, be-
side the common schools, and hey have all
been well supported. We will lsa guarantee
that the moral influence ofLexington Is
quite as good as that ct Warmsburg. You
are not doing Your normal scoel any good
BY bel!ttling Lafayette county I her schools.
Put ;his i'll your pipe and smo. it; Or what
IS better paste IL in your hat fOfuture refer
ence." Lexington is and has BIN for Il long
time u most excellent town, sucesslu! as an
educational point. and so far ) we know
with no evil effects from iiGur upon her
school teachers or pupils. Thassertion by
implication that the moral inhulce of Var
rensburg is any better is u mel empty AS
sumption. MIR. Ewing bias the tsnks OF our
people fOr what be has said.
